That's being a bit overly dramatic I think.

Bobo, saying his team will have to learn to live with the end of the 2012 SEC title game, admitted that “I don’t think we’re ever gonna get over that game.”
quote:
“We had actually gone back to, I don’t know what it was, it was one of the Florida-Alabama games, where Alabama had given up three red zone scores to Florida (2008 SEC Championship Game). It was a play that Florida had actually ran against Alabama. It was an empty set, and had two primary frontside, and a double-slant backside. It was something from ’08 or ’09 that Tebow had completed against them. Because I remember after that game, (Alabama defensive coordinator) Kirby (Smart) was talking about how, ‘We just couldn’t stop them in the red zone.’ So we just studied that hard…
We had some plans, we just didn’t have a chance to call those plays.”
quote:
“Like probably everybody out here, I don’t think we’re ever gonna get over that game,” he said. “First meeting back with the players back, and the offense, I said: Men, people keep telling you you’ve gotta get over it and get ready to go. The bottom line is you’re never gonna get over it

If that we're a fan then i'd agree with you but that's this guy's life/career. I'd feel the same.

yeah... i have no problem with what he said. they got over it enough to handle nebraska a month later.
IMO, the odds are greater UGA turns that loss into motivation rather than causing a distraction moving forward. They were literally one play away from playing for (and ultimately winning) their first NC in 30 years.

It's Georgia, everybody relax. Same song, different dance.

I don't think it keeps him awake at night but I'm sure it's still in his as well as the teams mind all offseason as motivation.
Some of us aren't used to winning the national title every other year, get over yourself

quote:
“We’ve all got ‘em, if you’ve been in this sport long enough. I’ve got a couple from high school, a couple from my playing days in college. And you’re gonna have them in coaching too. That’s just part of the game, that’s what makes it great. We were in that situation, we were in that game, and (are) proud of how hard our guys fought, how hard they played.”
quote:
And makes it hungrier to get back, Dowdle suggested.
“It does. It does. I’ve never been more hungry to have spring ball, anxious for the season,” Bobo said. “Usually everybody’s like, ‘Hey are you ready for the season?’ when you go to these (fan events), and I’m actually ready for a vacation this summer. But this year I’m itching to get back out there on the grass. Fortunately we’ve got some guys coming back and I think those guys are hungry too.”

Bobo has a booboo that won't heal.

I bet Florida felt the same way in '92. But it won't take that long to get over it. Just give it a few years and some crazy wins and it will all be better.

If it were a situation where he couldn't get ready for the next season and just stayed curled up in a ball crying then I'd agree.
But I think it's more of just a thing that will always sort of haunt him but doesn't impact the level of work being put forth going forward. At least not a negative impact.

A good coaching staff will never let them forget it, and will use it to motivate for the future. i.e. Saban's OCD about "finishing"

You know...exactly how you felt from 1980-2009. Can't wait to see how humble you are in the 30 years it takes to replace Saban lol.

Why would you possibly think it will take 30 years?
1979 -> 1992 = 13 years
1992 -> 2009 = 17 years
In seven seasons, Gene Stallings went 70-16-1, won a natty and was a point away from playing for a second, made the SECCG four times, and had four 10+ win seasons.
1990-1996 was pretty danged spiffy.
They'll make a shiatty hire on occasion (see Dubose, Mike and Price, Mike), but in the overall scheme of things they get corrected pretty quickly.

I don't think Steve Spurrier will ever get over having to play UGA, at LSU, and at Florida in consecutive weeks. Unfair scheduling got Georgia to the SEC Championship game.
